Twitter PWA now supports the Windows 10 Share dialogue

Twitter continues to update its Progressive Web App (PWA) that supports Windows 10, now adding support for another Windows 10 feature, the Share dialogue, making it easier to share content across other apps and services.

New Windows Insider build unlikely this week due to “nasty bug”

A “nasty bug” is causing a delay in a new Windows Insider build being released, as the team work to resolve the bug and prevent Insiders receiving any nasty surprises if they were to receive a new build. The bug could potentially stop people being able to log-in to their machine after updating.

But if it makes you feel better, it's looking unlikely we will have a new build this week due to a nasty bug that could prevent people from logging in after updating.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
